Falling For my Best Friend || Grayson

Riley's POV

i haven't talked to the girls in a while and homecoming was in two days. i really needed to get a dress. i texted the group chat and asked what their plans were.

Riley: hey, have you guys gotten your dresses yet? i was going to go to the mall and look today

Kayla: i'm actually busy today. my mom's making me do this stupid thing with my sister

Amber: sorry! i have to work today!

Taylor: ugh sorry ri. no can do

i sigh and put my phone down. i didn't really want to ask Grayson to go with me to get my dress. i wanted it to be a surprise. guess i only have one option left...

Ethan: hell no, i'm not going dress shopping with you!

Riley: pleaseee! everyone's busy and i need help! you can bring the guys if you want!

Ethan: i hate you turner. 

Riley: sweet! i'll be over in a few!

i smile as i put my phone in my bag and head outside to get in my car.

when i get there, Nate, Cameron, Alex and Ethan all pile into my car. "let's get this shit over with" Ethan mumbles and i laugh.

when we get to the mall i tell them to look for dresses that they like. we walk around for a while and they pull dresses off of the racks. i'm surprised they were actually looking. i grab a few dresses and find a rack full of really ugly dresses and grin. i pull a few on and head to the dressing room and they follow. 

"you're not actually considering that one are you?" Ethan says and i laugh. 

"no, you are" i say turning around and handing it to him. and he rolls his eyes. "i got some for everyone!" i say handing out butt-ugly dresses. 

"i'm not putting this on Riley!" Ethan shouts.

"you're just scared because i'm going to look better in the dress" Cameron says to Ethan and i giggle.

"bet" he says and they go into the dressing rooms. i sit down and pull out my phone. i start recording on snapchat and Ethan comes out in a floral dress covered in ruffles and it's really tight. i start laughing hysterically and then the other guys come out and i fall onto the floor, laughing.

Ethan pretends to flip his hair and talks in his 'girl-voice'. "oh my god, Jessica i cannot believe Billy said that!" he says to Cameron, who is pretending to cry.

"i know! he's so rude!" he says. i feel my eyes start to water and wipe them quickly, still laughing. they go back in and change into their clothes and i try on the first dress. i step outside and they all look at me. "so...?" i ask, spinning around.

"uh... no" Alex says. "well okay then!" i say and grab one of the dresses they picked out and Ethan sat up and smiled. i rolled my eyes when i saw the tight, short, low-cut, red dress. i went in and tried it on. i laughed in the mirror and whispered, "pervert". when i step outside their jaws drop and Alex covers his eyes. 

"holy boobs" Ethan says and i smack his head. "nice try, ya nasty" i say going back in the dressing room. i try on a few more and try on one i really like. it's a pale purple color, and it's really simple. i didn't really want to be one of those girls who buys a four hundred dollar dress and wear it once. i smile in the mirror and come back out. 

"that's the one" they say pointing at me. and i dance a little. "guess i've made a decision!".

i take the dress off and go to put the other dresses back on the racks and they follow me. "you sure you don't want the red one?" Cameron says holding up the tight red dress and i roll my eyes and giggle. i hear a few people coming and look up.
